Oregon Trail flashbacks: Comment of the day

This week's cover story on the early computer game Oregon Trail, and its creators, Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, and Paul Dillenberger, has generated a lot of comments and link love.

Autumn Banter was among them.

"I am 33 years old and Oregon Trail is one of the strongest memories I have of elementary school," she says. "I clearly remember sitting in computer class with my friends, after learning how to use the mouse on the Apple II E and playing Oregon Trail with amazement. The game is legendary and I know of many adults who for years searched for the original version to play on modern computers."
